They don't have nearly enough people now to have split rosters, so they might as well just unify everything.

At least premium live event makes some kind of sense when all of your events are on a steaming service and you don't actually need to pay per view, but it's still such an awkward phrase.

Not that I give a poo poo about Riddick Moss, but if you know for a fact that Drew is going on the shelf for a bit, why wouldn't you try to lend some credibility to Corbin and Moss by having them actually win the match instead of looking like poo poo and then getting a 50/50 backstage attack no one gives a poo poo about when you're booking them to injure Drew anyway

Apparently throughout the show the announcers kept calling it a "Premium Live Event". I guess "Pay Per View" has been added to Vince's no-no words list.

They legitimately aren't PPVs anymore so this is probably the most logical WWE jargon in a long time, if not ever

Like on one hand it makes perfect sense to not call them PPVs anymore, on the other hand they choose a weird alien phrase that no non-WWE employed human will ever use. Couldn't they just call em "Super Shows" or something.

It really strikes me how big E has hype packages where he seems cool and lively and charismatic, and the exact opposite of the dour lovely faces they usually have, so I guess it was always doomed but I didn't realize just how little they'd gotten behind him.

Also it's probably a premium live event from the peacock streaming service cuz AEW PPVs outsell their PPVs like, 10 to 1 or something.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Reminder that Big E and Cody Rhodes were asked to be in the room when she told her son that Brodie Lee was going to pass away. Man is a loving saint for that and all the other things he does to help people outside of wrestling.

Where the gently caress is Bianca? She's great and they spent last summer pushing her to the moon (and rightfully so, she's a great talent) but she's not on the show that kicks the year off? Where were ANY of the women besides Liv, Becks, and two retired wives?

The women and Drew did so much heavy lifting for the company during the Thunderdome era and their reward is apparently this poo poo?
